a pizza deliverer is bashed - again!

Oh God, please help our friend now at this time,
and please give wisdom to 'is fam'ly too,
while things don't seem to have poetic rhyme,
or make much sense, they even smell of poo,..

insanity, and hatred, lying, spite,
and jealousy are growing round about,
as much of this world has shut out the light,
and only thinks of “feeling good”, as louts

that want to do whatever they would like,
want other folk to make their food, and bring
it to them where they are, even to hike
a distance to them. They would still not sing,

or grow more thankful, they would think "of course",
"folk should be doing this to me, their god,"
So now we need your wisdom to divorce

what man has glued together where we've trod:

our goodness and our comfort, in this world,

are not synonymous at all we see,

so here we are, and you can bet we're hurled

by God's own spirit, to shine out and be

a source of God's own life to who looks on,

another way, responding to our lack

with open hands, that will not beat upon

a person passing to cover our backs.

So as this culture falls apart, around

about our ears, we want to follow well,

our Leader, and to listen to the sound

of his voice, thus to save our souls from hell!
